I think most of you have seen this article about J. J. Green.

After the game my wife and I stayed in our seats at the north 20 yard line lower West until the band and the players finished their tradition. I stay for every play and then leave but Saturday I told my wife I wanted to stay and watch the players and the band. Right after the band started "Ramblin Wreck" I happened to notice a GT player sprinting about as fast as he could towards the North End Zone from what was left of the post-game hand shaking at mid-field . It was J. J. and he was bound for the top of the wall in front of the students. The song was almost over once he got safely seated on top. But once J. J. got there it didn't take him long to get fully into the Ramblin Wreck and pumping his fist all the way in beat and with particular emphasis with the words "Helluva Engineer". You could tell he is fully into GT and so proud to be a part of what we all find so special about the Institute. Thought you all might like to know what I witnessed in that short span of time that I was fortunate to notice.

Thanks for that story. I might add... Saturday night JJ only had one carry as well (except for the fumble he recovered which was huge). Many others would sulk or pout after not getting many touches but JJ was excited as anyone.

When I read that story last month, I got the impression that he transferred because georgie was not renewing his scholarship. In other words, he got cut. However, I saw that he did greet Richt warmly after the Miami game so there is apparently no hard feeling. If anyone could clear this up, I would love to better understand.

In all the stories about transfers, especially in basketball, it isn't often discussed that guys may be transferring as plan b.

I love this story!

Yeah. I noticed the absence of the ball in his hands this game. I wonder if Wake keyed on him for pitch reads, but he could have gotten rocket tosses or been involved in counters.

I thought it was because of the move to defensive back. Maybe he looked at our offense and went hmm... Aback is better than being at a position I am not suited for.

My understanding was that we wanted to switch from defense to offense and Richt said no, so he transferred. I remember reading he missed having the ball in his hands.

I could always be mis-remembering. I do that often, just as my wife.

Wait, you're saying you're forgetful just as your wife is? Bold move, forensic.

No, he just forgot to add the words "always, always, always, says."

He said that he was forgetful.
